Lisa grew up in Cumbria with a passion for the outdoors, animals and pony riding. After leaving school she gained a BTEC First Diploma in Art & Design at Kendal college.  

​

Lisa then pursued a dream to live and work with horses in the USA, where she ran a successful business for many years.

​

Lisa now enjoys the solitude and slower pace of life in Fetlar, one of Shetland's north isles, where she can be found tending the croft, walking the beautiful coastline with her dogs or taking a dip in the sea.

​

Along with teaching riding and photography, Lisa has turned her hand to making beautiful hand crafted leather good for horses, dogs and their owners.  

​

Lisa has always been adventurous and creative, but has rarely done things by the “rule-book” which has taught her some valuable life lessons.  She says "I am still learning and hope I never stop."

​

"Anything I do in life I want to do well, to the best of my ability, I’m not one for doing things half-heartedly."

​

Lisa always uses good quality leather, carefully sourced from the most responsible suppliers, she uses heavy duty quality fittings and hand stitches it all securely together to create a durable, long lasting product.

​

"When creating items I feel it is important to ensure that they are practical, functional and have longevity.  Also, to ensure that they are made from eco friendly materials that are sourced sustainably and responsibly." 

​

Each item created is different to the next, each piece of leather is unique and as she begin to work with it the grain, colour, density of the leather often determines where a cut, fold, buckle or stitch may go, creating truly unique pieces.
